A verdejo with oak aging is not very common yet so surprising. This wine has aged for 8 months in new French oak barrels, with periodic bâtonnage in the barrel. This gives a completely new dimension to the verdejo wines. The grapes are harvested by hand at the Nieva area of Segovia in Castilla Y León.
